Full Description
Bostern Grange, Newton Grange. Partially extant 19th century farmstead. The farmstead is formed of a regular courtyardof a fully enclosed plan with additional detached elements to the main plan. The farmhouse is attached to the agricultural range. The site is in an isolated location. Large modern sheds have been identified on the site, and may have destroyed or obscured historic buildings. There has been a partial loss (less than 50%) of traditional buildings. (1) (2) (3) (4)
Bostern Grange, located south-east of Milldale, belonged to Burton Abbey, which was dissolved 1538. (5,6). Bostern Grange is not included on Hart's list of medieval granges. (7)
There is little left today of medieval granges, either in remains or documentary references, although the word 'grange' is common on maps of Derbyshire. Generally, although not exclusively, the name is attached to a farmhouse. (8) The present Bostern Grange Farm has 19th century or earlier origins, as it is shown on the OS map of c. 1880. (9)
